Whilst Ms Jerry declined, for the reasons set out above, to make any oral submissions in support of her appeal to supplement the extensive written submissions she provided to the court in support of the same, it was clear from the representations she did make to the court during the course of her adjournment application that Ms Jerry continues, fundamentally, to disagree that she did anything to justify the decision of the CCC to remove her from the Register. Consistent with this view, the majority of her grounds of appeal to this court seek again to traduce the decisions made by the CCC in 2015 and on appeal by May J in 2016 rather than dealing with the decision not to reinstate her.

However, as set above, none of that is to the point in circumstances where the question for this court is whether the FPC erred when making its decision on the question of whether Ms Jerry should be reinstated to the Register. As Ms Ghotra submits, the FPC was bound to find that it was not appropriate for Ms Jerry’s registration to be restored where there was an absence of any meaningful insight into the misconduct found against her and a lack evidence of strengthened practice

For the reasons I have set out, I am satisfied that there is no basis for contending that the decision of the FPC to refuse to reinstate Ms Jerry to the nursing register was wrong or unjust because of a serious procedural or other irregularity. Accordingly, I dismiss the appeal and will deal with the question of costs on the basis of short, written submissions.
